Pros

Good office location with good efforts to make it more friendly like pizza parties, tech knowledge sharing sessions.

Cons

There have been 3 layoffs in 2 years, with more than dozen internal shifts in strategy. Before 2020 it was "lets be profitable" after 2020 it became "lets quickly expand" and then 2022 was "ops, lets be profitable". This lead to team switches about every 6 months with new managers new goals new everything.

Pros

They used to have Wayfair labs program for new grads, which is a one-month camp, and then got placed onto teams. Not sure if the program still exists. Beautiful office in downtown Boston, right on top of the subway/train station. The benefits are not bad.

Cons

Some teams have bad WLB Relatively lower pay
